The staff I would give a 5 star too

The staff I would give a 5 star too. But the one star is for wet coal which often comes with a quarter of a sack of unwanted dross. Plus management does not like responding to your complaints.

Really good service…

Deliveries are always prompt and staff friendly when coal ordered over the phone. Even when I missed an order delivery date I still got my delivery the next time the coal lorry passed through my village. Excellent service.

We have had deliveries from Pearsons for some years now and I cannot fault them in any way. Both the office and drivers are polite and helpful. During the current situation the drivers have been especially careful and have left everything neat and tidy. Our delivery is not easy but has always been carried out professionally. Thank you

Excellent Service

Due to adverse weather my delivery was made by Pearsons at 20:15 on Wednesday evening instead of Thursday morning. This was much appreciated as I was panicking about the heavy snow fall thinking that my delivery might not be made and I was down to half a bag. Thank you very much 😀
